Game Change: Sarah Palin endorses Ted Cruz

Just four days before the start of early voting in the Texas Senate
primary, the Ted Cruz campaign announced the endorsement of Governor
Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin.

In response to a letter from Ted Cruz, Governor Sarah Palin wrote:
“We’re proud to join conservatives in Texas and throughout the nation in
supporting your campaign to become the next Senator from the Lone Star
State.”

“Your conservative principles, passionate defense of our Constitution
and our free market system come at a time when these cornerstones of
our freedom and prosperity are under attack,” Governor Palin added. “Our
shared goal isn’t just to change the majority in control of the Senate,
but to assure principled conservatives like you are there to fight for
us.”

Ted Cruz responded, “Governor Palin has been an inspiration to
conservatives across Texas and across the Nation. She is principled and
passionate and never afraid to speak truth to establishment power. I am
humbled and honored to have Governor Palin’s support as we fight to
restore fiscal sanity to the circus that is Washington. With Governor
Palin’s support, and the support of tens of thousands of conservatives
from all across Texas, we will turn our country around, rein in
out-of-control spending and debt in Washington, and restore the
Constitution.”

To date, the Cruz campaign has received donations from over 19,000
individuals, from over 843 Texas cities, 225 Texas counties, and all 50
States. The average donation is under $200.

In addition, the campaign has earned endorsements from many of the
top conservative leaders in Texas and nationally, including: Tea Party
Express, Senator Jim DeMint, Senator Rand Paul, Dr. James Dobson, Cathie
Adams, George P. Bush, Gun Owners of America, Family Research Council
Action PAC, FreedomWorks, Texas Home School Coalition PAC, Kelly
Shackelford, David Barton, Peggy Venable, Young Conservatives of Texas,
over 200 Texas Republican women leaders, and many more.
